went to london last summer...man tvr's are the sickest sounding cars... sounds scarier than a viper. it was weird to see so many tvr's ther... also range rover vogue editions.

 

I think Arizona has to be one of the greatest places to own the Le Mans Sunset. Something about the clarity of the sunlight here and the LS paint. This is with the new wheels and Eibach's installed.
Same driveway, sorry you can't see the house (that was the point of this thread wasn't it?) I have many pix of the Z, but none w/my home behind it Regards, Jim

Yep. that's really my TVR

Got her last month, with the £27k I'd put aside for the Z, from selling my V8 MGB and Miata.

She's a 2000 model, 9000 miles on the clock, full dealer history, etc. etc. The only thing I had to do to her was get my speed camera detector installed!

You can check out some more pics here:

The Cooper S in some pics is my husband's.

The Tuscan is amazing!!!

Supercar performance, gorgeous (monsterous!) sound, fantastic precise handling, gorgeous leather and brass interior, a hard roof which comes off for open top motoring (and stores in the trunk), massive trunk - I can go to band rehearsals with a guitar amp, 2 guitars and room to spare all in the trunk - and, despite all the reliability issues I'd heard of, she's been 100% reliable so far.

It is rather like driving around naked though, I can not make one small journey without everyone staring, and other drivers honking their horns and waving and yelling at me. You see a few TVR's in London, but still most people have never seen one in the metal.

I still want a Z though! I don't know how amazing I will find 360bhp, 0-60 in 4.2 secs and no safety aids whatsoever in the winter...

If any of you Z owners want to visit us when you're in London, you're more than welcome. Any excuse for a drive...

Happy TVR owner.

What, do you think I can afford a Z & a nice home too??

 

In Sunny So Cali..

 

What kind of car is that?

<EDITED>
Nevermind, I saw later in the thread that there were some links to TVR info. Sorry for the confusion.

That TVR is coooooool looking.

 

She's a 2000 year TVR Tuscan Speed Six. 4 litre straight six, 360bhp, 0-60 in 4.2 secs, 0-100 in 9.6.

When are you expecting delivery of you soft-top Z?!

 

hows your husband like being the slow car in the family

 

ok, here's a few, enkei rpm2

 

enkei rpo2j auto-x wheels

 

and lastly, 19" iforged aeros. btw, first ones were 18s, 2nd were 17s

 

I guess I'm the only person on this board who lives in a sh*thole dump. I think I'll pass on posting a pic. Don't want to get laughed at.

At least I have a nice car.

 

He doesn't care. He's just happy he doesn't have one of those boring wives who can only drive stick

Actually, I'm the one who talked him into getting the Cooper S ... which of course he now LOVES and makes any excuse to drive. We are taking a trip to the coast next weekend, and we both wanted to drive, so we're both taking our own cars "Last one there buys dinner!"

 

My address changes with the weather.

 

Cazz, Is that the new Stillen Trailer Hitch on the Brick?
I hear it only weighs 2 pounds, adds 30 hp and 20 pounds of torque to the rear wheels, comes in full Ti or Carbon fiber is complete with it's own grounding kit and your choice of either 20 coats of Zaino or Blackfire.
Please dyno with the trailer attached and post your results?

 

Do you see my Nitrous Tanks on the trailer? I be gettin up when I squeeze off.

 

My humble abode in a Seattle suburb...

 

Naw, surely that can't be Seattle. See, there's blue sky in the background, can't be Seattle.
BTW, what is the name of the liftkit you are using on the right rear? I hadn't thought of trying that
Just a howdy from one LS owner to another LS owner Regards, Jim
